Q: If I am receiving a Pell Grant, will I need to be enrolled by a certain date?

A: Yes. The amount of your Pell Grant will be determined by the number of credits you are registered for by the institution's certification date (20th day roster). NO adjustments will be made to your Pell Grant if you add credits after this date.

A: Verification is a review process in which the information you provided on the FAFSA is compared to tax documents, W-2s, and the verification worksheet. If you are selected for verification, we will mail you the verification worksheet with instructions. No federal aid can be disbursed until verification is complete.
